It is really exciting news for the offshore companies regarding survey work under sea water. They can have now all oceanographic winches like CTD, Umbilical, and many more powerful winches in cost effective rent. Hence, their survey work will be conducted in lower expenses.

Low rent Underwater Tracking Systems

Most of the Underwater Tracking Systems like Halibut camera, Broadband Acoustic Tracking System (BATS), etc. This BATS belongs to USBL (Ultra short baseline) equipment type and used for long area tracking purpose under sea water. It’s connected to desktop PC or rack mounted version through cable for reporting purpose. Hence, it’s one of the crucial "Underwater tracking systems".

The BATS is produced on Broadband ‘CHIRP’ acoustic technology to render an efficient tracking performance under sea water for seismic industry or offshore industry purpose. A precise long range tracking result can be achieved with medium and slow frequency.

Halibut camera – Another Tracking system

Halibut camera is a type of tracking device, which captures snapshots or recording of a broad area under sea water. Many sub marines use these cameras for tracking of underwater animals or enemies or other sub marines. Similarly, the offshore companies use these devices for detection of any strange things under sea water during the survey.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler is very important for safe survey

The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler is used normally for detection of current flow under sea water and hence the survey work can be conducted within safe surrounding. Unlike, current meters in our residential and commercial complex, current meters are also being installed in DP vessels for measurement of current flow under water. It is mandatory to measure current under sea water before starting the survey work; otherwise, the devices could be destroyed due to excess current flow.

Gallon bottle of dye method for current measurement

For current measurement under sea water, another device "gallon bottle of dye" is utilized to record the traced current. A broad area current could be measured through bottom drogue weight and surface drogue float method.

Buoys for current measurement

Since, through the "gallon bottle of dye" method, water pollution might be created, there are some costly buoys installed under sea water to provide current flow information to satellites frequently.

Drift bottle and card for current measurement

Drift Bottle is also a useful Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler to measure current by releasing a few quantity drifts and might be disturbed by the wind but an easier and faster method to record a current flow. Water pollution could be created by this method. If you couldn’t detect current, you can use Drift Cards to record currents and these are more weighted to the position just lower the water surface.

Electricity energy generation

Through the Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, the suitable source for electricity generation will be detected under sea water. Hence, these devices are used for huge benefits.

Hence, the offshore companies can accomplish multiple tasks like oil and gas reservoir detection, electricity detection and other purposes. If you need more information, take help of search engines.
